Curty Matériels

What Curty Matériels does

Curty Matériels is a privately held, authorized dealer of HYUNDAI Construction Equipment and AMMANN machinery founded in 1983 in the Lyon region of France. The company operates from two physical locations in Genas (Rhône, headquarters) and Montmélian (Savoie) and serves construction and public works professionals across ten departments in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regions. Its portfolio spans new and used equipment ranging from 1.7-tonne compact electric mini-excavators to 52-tonne tracked excavators, wheel loaders, material handlers, articulated dump trucks, compactors, and complementary attachments.

The business model is multi-stream: new equipment sales (HYUNDAI and AMMANN), used equipment resale, short- and long-term rental of construction equipment without driver, and after-sales service including diagnostics, preventive maintenance, spare parts supply, and 24-48 hour field interventions. Used equipment pricing disclosed on the website ranges from €14,000 (compact older units) to €155,000 (recent large excavators), with new equipment sold through direct enterprise sales and demonstration programmes. Sales channels combine direct field sales from the two dealership branches with online listings on Leboncoin and MachineryZone, alongside trade show participation at Paysalia, Euroforest, and Les Cognées.

The customer base is enterprise-oriented and horizontally distributed across construction, demolition, waste recycling, cement production, public works, watercourse maintenance, and even hospitality (e.g., Senegal-based hotel operations). Notable enterprise customers include DBS (waste processing with a fleet of 10+ purchased HYUNDAI machines), Vicat, Arnaud Démolition, Marjollet TP, and SEEM/Martel Groupe. The firm co-developed the R17Z-9A electric radio-controlled mini excavator with Hydrosystem in 2019 and earned a SaMoTer Technical Innovation Award (2020) for the Hyundai HL960A wheel loader. The company employs 25 specialists and is family-oriented, with no evidence of external investors, acquisitions, or parent-company ownership.

• Kiloutou: Major French equipment rental chain with national branch network — broader and more diversified than Curty but directly overlapping on the construction equipment rental offering and customer base.
• Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe: Curty's primary OEM partner — Hyundai's European headquarters that sets distribution strategy, product allocation, and dealer territory terms. The relationship itself is core to Curty's positioning.
• Loxam: Europe's largest equipment rental company (publicly listed) — much broader scope and scale than Curty but directly comparable on the rental and used-equipment dimensions of Curty's business.
